Description

  The present invention relates to a spot management system that manages the availability of aircraft parking at an airport and the availability of support facilities.

  At present, a large number of spots equipped with boarding bridge facilities (hereinafter also referred to as “PBB”) are installed in large domestic and international airports. For example, at Narita International Airport, 67 spots are installed when the first and second passenger terminal buildings are combined. A total of 137 PBBs (as of March 2013) are installed at all spots, and are used by passengers over 400 flights per day as a means for passengers to move safely and comfortably between buildings and aircraft. . Airplanes that use spots have changed dramatically due to recent changes in the environment surrounding the aviation industry. Compared to the time when conventional medium- and large-sized aircraft were mainly used, such as the launch of ultra-large aircraft and the use of smaller equipment, the actual situation is that the range of PBB support has been greatly expanded recently. .

  On the spot where the PBB is installed, there are other facilities such as electric power, air conditioner, and refueling. All these facilities must be available without problems when parking the aircraft. Therefore, every time there is a change in spot operation, verification is performed in each group in charge of handling each facility.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main configuration of the PBB is roughly divided into a rotor, a tunnel, a cab, a drive column, a traveling tire, and a service steer. The basic operation of the PBB is to move forward / backward, turn, and ascend / descend around a rotor connected to a building (fixed bridge). When mounting on an aircraft, generally, PBB (L1) is mounted on the L1 door of the aircraft, and PBB (L2) is mounted on the L2 door of the aircraft. In recent years, PBB (U1) that can be connected to the upper deck has been installed at 5 spots in order to support A380 of the super large machine. In addition, the large domestic and international airport PBBs are designed mainly for medium and large aircrafts, so the tunnel slope is reduced when mounted on the aircraft due to the downsizing of aircraft materials (B737, etc.). There is a situation where it is difficult to secure a tunnel gradient of 1/12 or less, which is a guideline of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. FIG. 2 schematically shows the state of the PBB tunnel gradient.

  For example, when an aircraft that has not been parked in the past is parked at a certain spot, the group in charge of each facility checks in advance whether there is a problem, and the operation manager is in charge of the fit check on the actual machine. Has been implemented. However, it may be difficult to confirm the relationship with other equipment on the desk, and the fit check on the actual machine may cause problems in later operations due to time constraints and inability to make detailed adjustments. .

  In particular, since the PBB moves on the spot, the operation status is greatly influenced by the stop position of the aircraft. In actual operation, the aircraft often deviates from the stop position, and the setting of the stop position with no margin on the equipment side will be operated near the operating limit of the equipment, and the PBB extension limit or collision prevention will occur due to some deviation of the aircraft Stoppage due to the operation occurs, and it becomes a cause of operation failure such as inability to attach the PBB. Furthermore, it can be said that it takes time and effort to study and adjust because the information is distributed among the groups in charge.

  On the other hand, a spot management system that changes a spot allocation plan each time based on an aircraft flight plan and spot allocation conditions is proposed in, for example, Patent Document 1, but uses all spots of a specific airport and the airport. No system has been proposed to centrally manage spot availability for various types of aircraft.

1. 1. Arrival of aircraft is determined. Receive a spot number request from an airline.
3. Place the corresponding aircraft shadow (CAD) on the management drawing (CAD) of the requested spot.
(A) Align the tip stop position of the aircraft axis with the front wheel (nose gear) of the aircraft.
(1) Check if the electrical cable entry is within the frame (reference value)
(2) Check if the air conditioner hose entrance is within the frame (reference value)
(3) Check if the grounding hose ground opening is within the frame (reference value)
(4) Confirm that the allowable tunnel slope (reference value) and allowable tunnel margin (reference value) are secured when the boarding bridge is installed.

  FIG. 9 shows a frame serving as a reference value for each facility.

  Here, the tunnel gradient is automatically calculated by the control unit 4 from the PBB information of a predetermined spot stored in the spot management database 1 and the structural information of the target aircraft.

  When all the reference values (1) to (4) are satisfied, the spot stop position is determined. On the other hand, if any one of the reference values (1) to (4) does not satisfy the reference value, the operation moves to the next operation (B).

    (B) The nose gear of the aircraft is slid in the X direction from the tip stop position of the aircraft axis.

(1) Check if the electrical cable entry is within the frame (reference value)
(2) Check if the air conditioner hose entrance is within the frame (reference value)
(3) Check if the grounding hose ground opening is within the frame (reference value)
(4) Confirm that the allowable tunnel slope (reference value) and the allowable tunnel margin length (reference value) are secured when the boarding bridge is installed. Repeat the work until all the reference values (1) to (4) above are satisfied. If it is finally found that the aircraft cannot be parked at the spot, another spot is selected.
Step 1 (Get information)
Next, an example of a work process when there is a request for parking a new type of aircraft that has never parked until now will be described.

  First, various data relating to service equipment is obtained from an aircraft manufacturer, input from the input unit 2, and stored in the spot management database 1.

  Examples of data to be input include the following.

(1) CAD drawing data of new service equipment
(2) Aircraft dimensions, door position, door height, nose gear position
(3) Projection details of the aircraft around the L1 and L2 doors (instruments)
The control unit 4 associates the input data with the CAD drawing data of the spot scheduled to be used.

  The control unit 4 determines the stop position while confirming the gradient and margin length when the boarding bridge is mounted on the associated CAD drawing. Here, the following is considered in the PBB fit check.

Tunnel gradient = 1/12 (by barrier-free method)
Tunnel allowance length = 1.5m or more (no safety problem even if the aircraft is around 1m)
Then, the control unit 4 confirms whether (1) the electric cable inlet is within the frame (reference value), (2) whether the air-conditioner hose inlet is within the frame (reference value), (3 ) Check if the ground opening of the refueling hose fits within the frame (reference value), (4) Check if the allowable tunnel slope (reference value) and allowable tunnel margin length (reference value) are secured when the boarding bridge is installed, When all the conditions are satisfied, the spot stop position is determined, and when any one is not satisfied, the work is repeated by sliding the nose gear stop position of the aircraft on the CAD drawing as described above. .

  According to this system, as described above, it is possible to manage the centralized management of information necessary for the handling examination of each facility installed at the spot, including the PBB that is the only moving facility at the airport spot. Therefore, it is possible to quickly determine whether the aircraft can be operated and safety.
